Happy Tuesday! Are you ready for another ?
At the end of the night, send all of your guests outside to prepare for your grand exit while you and your partner share a private "last dance" with just the two of you (and your photographer to get some shots of just the two of you) β€οΈ
Crushing on this color palette! π
"Where can we take our pictures in the winter?" is a common question we get asked, so we want to share some location ideas! βοΈ
β’ In front of the garage door
β’ Outside on the back porch
β’ By the fire pit
β’ In front of the venue
β’ Even in the men's restroom
We also have umbrella's that you can borrow to get some pictures outside still if you'd like! π§
Are you looking for some ideas for your guests to send you off in style? Here are some options we love!
β’ Sparklers
β’ Streamer wands
β’ Balloons
β’ Bubbles
β’ Light up wands
Comment below with other send-off ideas you love π
From the start, we knew that we wanted our clients to be able to choose their vendors for their event. That's why we have an open door policy so you can plan your event completely however you want with the vendors you want! π
Pure happiness at the end of the best day β¨
Attention bridesmaids and groomsmen - this is for you! Make sure to stand close enough together that the photographer can capture the entire bridal party in one shot. Thomas and Erin's party did this perfectly - look how great they look!
One year later and we're still in awe of Travis + Aarika's December stunner...π€©
It's not just an arch. It's the perfect photo op for your dress, your vows, your guest selfies, behind your head table...the list goes on!
We have four arch options available for you to use at your event free of charge. Which one would you pick - circle, rectangle, diamond, or hexagon?
*The arches in the pictures are not guaranteed to be available at your event in the case they are damaged, but we will always have options!
We often get asked where the best places are to snap some pictures of the newlyweds (and group shots) πΈ
Some of our favorite places are:
β¨ The back porch
β¨ The grass path behind the back porch
β¨ On the island/near the pond
β¨ Inside the venue
β¨ By the tree-line near the road
β¨ Near the front entrance or with the fire-pit
β¨ The tree line off to the left of the venue near the white building (great for sunset pictures βοΈ )
β¨ Even in the men's restroom - think moody, industrial pictures!
We love all of the unique places onsite to get those dreamy pictures β€οΈ
P.S. Save this post to reference back to later!
Are you ready for another ?
Already planning your wedding seating assignments?π Great! We suggest seating charts for guests list over 75 people to help simplify everyone finding a seat and to make sure you have accounted for all your guests.
You also know your guests the best, so this will maximize guest experience - you know which guests are shy, the social butterflies, and the ones who don't get along. A seating chart takes all the guesswork out of it!
Can you say grand entrance goals? π
We love when brides use our glass garage door for their grand entrance. It has that wow factor and gets all eyes on you before you enter β¨
And just like that, we're already reminiscing on summer weddings π₯Ίβ€οΈ

If you are looking for an alternative to a traditional head table for your reception, you may want to consider a sweetheart table.
A sweetheart table is the perfect fit for couples who want to enjoy an intimate moment alone together with your spouse. It very well may be one of only a few you get on your wedding day as the rest of the time you'll be interacting with your guests, or of course, dancing the night away!
Starting your forever with this view? Count us in π€©
Tip Tuesday! π€
A helpful tip for your big day is to wear your wedding shoes around the house before the wedding. This will keep your shoes clean and also break them in before wearing them for a long period of time.
